BRISTOL, Conn. -- Mid-Island Little League is headed to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.

That after manager Joe Calabrese's club rode ace pitcher Gregory Bruno's perfect game to a 4-0 victory over Berlin Little League of Maryland in the championship game of the Little League 12-year-old Mid-Atlantic Regional Sunday afternoon at the A. Bartlett Giamatti Center.

Following the game, the Travis loop was sent directly to Williamsport, Pa., where they will battle other Regional champions from around the country for the USA crown as well as chance to play for the international title against the international victor. The World Series runs from Aug. 16-26.

"We are not just going. We are not just going. We are going there to win," said Calabrese to his team following the big victory of the trip to the World Series.

Mid-Island finished the Regional with a 4-0 mark and is now 15-0 this summer.
